Abstract
The overall purpose of the study was to identify determinants of public works contract performance, in Benishangul Gumuz Region. The researchers used survey method for the study and data were collected from the target population by means of self-administrative questionnaire and sample was selected by using stratified sampling. Descriptive and inferential analysis was employed to analyze the determinants of public construction works contract performance. The consequence shows that all determinants like contractor performance, consultant performance, contract management, and risk management significantly and positively affects public works contract performance; on the other hand cost overrun significantly and negatively affects public works contract performance. Therefore, the researchers recommends that existing low level of public works contract performance should be improved in order to facilitate public service delivery and properly use of public money (wisely use of public resource). Moreover, contractors, consultants and clients should increase their performance. Therefore, owners, contractors, consultants and the concerned Government bodies who struggle to promote growth of public construction works contract should start at giving tremendous effort on this very prominent area. Following this public construction can be used as an engine for basic delivery of public service especially for the poor's and that improving public construction projects performance hence progress the welfare of the society at large.
